Juan Carlos Carcedo was very emotional as he said goodbye to the fans last night at the ‘Alphamega’ stadium. He explained that he chose to accept Spartak Moscow’s big offer because talks with Pafos’ owners didn’t lead to a new contract.
As for who will replace Pafos’ most successful coach, a source from the team hinted that Andrea Pirlo is not in the running.
The Italian is currently with a team owned by Lomakin’s group, UNITED Dubai, but he won’t be moving to the island.
Yesterday, the Portuguese reported (on the newspaper’s website O Jogo) that Victor Bruno, another Portuguese, is likely to take over the Cypriot champions. The 43-year-old coach started as an assistant and then became head coach at Porto. He has been without a job for the past year.
Roman Dubov told reporters just before yesterday’s match against Apollon that “soon we will have good news” about Carcedo’s successor.
